Overview
ACUTE CARE SURGERY FELLOWSHIP
The UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program offers a two year Acute Care Surgery Fellowship through the department of Surgery. This Fellowship is based at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno. CRMC is the only Level I Trauma Center serving California’s Central Valley with a population of 2 million. The trauma service is very active, admitting more than 2,500 trauma patients per year (80% blunt, 20% penetrating), with approximately 20% of these requiring ICU admission. Faculty support is strong with 8 surgery faculty members board-certified in surgical critical care.
The goal of the Fellowship is to enhance skills in the management of trauma and emergent surgery and critically ill patients. For the patient with traumatic injury, management begins with initial evaluation and resuscitation and operative management and continues until discharge. The Fellow is involved in comprehensive critical care management issues, such as multidisciplinary committees and protocol development.
The fellow will have available a rich clinical environment, Trauma Registry, statistical help and lab available to work on research projects. Facilities and opportunities for laboratory investigations are also available. The fellow will attend the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma annual meeting and is expected to complete a research project that can be presented/published by the end of their fellowship training. There is opportunity for the fellow to develop and complete a research project of their choice.
